The Netherlands' next government looks likely to exclude the far right and could be led by an openly gay prime minister after an election in which Geert Wilders' anti-Islam Freedom Party lost ground and support surged for the centrist D66.
With 98% of votes counted from Wednesday's election, D66 and Wilders' PVV were tied early on Thursday, with both projected to take 26 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.
